St. Bede Hornets

School gardens create powerful outdoor classrooms that bring learning to life through hands-on experiences with plants, soil, and seasonal cycles.

This initiative addresses the growing need for experiential education that connects children to their food sources and natural environment. It's designed for teachers, parents, and community members who want to enhance student learning while promoting healthy eating habits and environmental awareness.

The project involves forming a garden committee, selecting an appropriate site, designing garden beds, and establishing maintenance routines. Students participate in planting, tending, and harvesting crops while learning science, maths, and life skills through practical application.

Your school garden will strengthen community bonds, improve student diets, provide therapeutic outdoor space, and create lasting educational impact. The initiative includes comprehensive planning guides, design templates, material lists, and ongoing support to ensure your garden thrives year after year.

So far so great! The solar panels have been added for safety in the evening. Students have already begun taking care of their designated planter boxes and are eager to see what spring brigs. The Stations of the Cross will be replaced once the rain stops, a feature that our students use during recess and lunch when they just want a quiet moment of prayer. Next up, will be another area of the school: the Peace and Forgiveness Garden.

Erin and Loren are doing a fantastic job with the garden! Over the break, they planted succulents, annuals, perennials, and an avocado tree. They even offered to come back every spring to help replant the annuals after they graduate. In addition, they rearranged the stepping stones in a more organized fashion leading up to the Stations of the Cross. A new sprinkler system was also installed. They plan to install solar lights to brighten up the area especially when we have evening school events. Plans for a vegetable garden, butterfly garden, and Kindness Rock garden are underway. We are so proud of our Hornets!
